The pictured aircraft for this article is a Cessna CJ-4, similar to the plane chartered by Bi-Con Services on multiple occasions throughout the year. This one just happens to be owned and flown in here on behalf of another business close to opening its new location on Southgate Parkway. Bi-Con, with almost 500 employees, provides multiple services to geographically dispersed businesses from Chicago to NYC, northern MI to SC. One charter service used often by Bi-Con is Professional Aviation Services out of Holmes County Airport in OH. Larry Clark, owner and chief pilot of the charter service, estimates that he is currently coming into the Cambridge airport 75- 100 times per year, flying a Cessna CJ-4 10-passenger business jet. “In the good years, it’s more”, he said.
